SECOND GRADE- HAWAIIAN FOOD


Poi is a Hawaiian word for the primary Polynesian staple food made from the corm of the kalo plant (known widely as taro). Poi is produced by mashing the cooked corm (baked or steamed) to a highly viscous fluid. Water is added during mashing and again just before eating, to achieve a desired consistency, which can range from liquid to dough-like (poi can be known as two-finger or three-finger, alluding to how many fingers you would have to use to eat it, depending on its consistency).
Poi made from Taro should not be confused with
Samoan poi, which is a creamy dessert created by mashing ripe bananas with coconut cream.
Tahitian po'e, which is a sweet, pudding-like dish made with bananas, papaya, or mangoes cooked with manioc and coconut cream.

Importance of the English Subject

Over the past years, English has come to be considered one of the most relevant and meaningful languages in the world. This is not just because of its demand in business and technology but also because of its social and cultural implications in our increasingly global world. It is due to its role as a global language and therefore a vehicle of economic and educational success that the Colombian government has become aware of the need to foster the English language through the bilingualism process.

For this reason, the Colombian government has also developed polices to promote the teaching and learning process of English in schools from the Primary School level right through to High school levels as a mandatory subject. This policy has been carried through to implementation in the General Law of Education (Law 115 of 1994).

In this view, The Windsor Royal School vision is to become the leader educational institution in the department of Cordoba, to participate actively in the globalization process and to contribute to the students’ whole development. Hence the school has started a bilingualism process oriented by the English department, whose intention is to be the guider in all the pedagogical, academic and methological aspects involved in.
